According to the case study featured on Forbes, Palau represented an economy that ideally needs a CBDC owing to its financial landscape. 

As a cash-based economy, the success or failure of any introduced CBDC can easily be visible and, as such, showcase what is possible or not among Central Banks aiming to introduce something similar.

Palau CBDC: The Key Benefits

Per the case study, financial inclusion is one of the significant benefits the national stablecoin or CBDC project will bring to the Pacific Island nation. With much of the population underbanked owing to accessibility, the CBDC has carved out an arguably more accessible alternative.

With settlement costs growing considerably, it is also assumed that Palau CBDC will bring a transformation in this regard, helping to lower the costs and boost the settlement time. 

“Financial inclusion is one key advantage, providing access to banking services in underbanked areas. Cost-efficiency in transactions is particularly crucial in remote locations where high transaction costs can inhibit economic activity,” the case study details.

Besides these benefits, the potential of the CBDC in bolstering cross-border payments is also high, and the design of the CBDC to improve logistics and security in the financial sectors presents an ultimate game plan that the case study notes have added to its appeal.

The Role of Ripple

As a blockchain payments firm, Ripple Labs has been innovating in several ways to enhance the current payment infrastructure concerning CBDC.

As a key partner in the Palau Stablecoin initiative, Ripple has helped to build the CBDC infrastructure and power many innovations to help improve its overall use case.

Besides the launch of the Palau Stablecoin, several innovations have been added, including wallet to wallet feature integrated back in August. Ripple is currently occupying a position in the CBDC race that might see as many as 30 different Central Banks tap its services in the near future.

Overall, the Palau and Ripple CBDC partnership has been a good case study focusing on robust infrastructure, user education, offline wallets, scalability and adaptability, and regulatory compliance that many Central Banks can learn from.
